*Takes broom and cloth to sweep and dust the cobwebs from this here blog*

I have been thinking of the appropriate excuse to give for why I abandoned my blog for soooooo long, now I’ve been thinking about this excuse since the first of January and one and a half months later with no mind altering excuse to give I am left with telling the truth. They say the truth shall always set you free so here it is: LAZINESS!!!! Pure and Simple; well that and the fact that my camera was out of commission, I broke my other laptop in december (don’t ask how) and well too little hours in the day. Yes I threw in some other excuses, Sue Me.

I find that I’m having a hard time actually putting up a post because I keep doing other things so for today let’s have a little catch up session shall we:

-Well for Starters I was in Nigeria for Christmas; lets just say we had a Cool Fun Times and leave it at that

-There’s a new addition to my family, she’s the cutest thing especially her cheeks. Seems like there’s a competition going on with the wives in my family, they are ALL pregnant now, I mean ALL of them. I have called each and everyone of them and preached about Condoms and Family planning and they all keep laughing but I’m dead serious.

Meet Dere:

-I’ve decided to take my behind back to school and get my Master’s over with Ugh!! I really dislike school

– My baby Pinky (refer back to previous posts for a picture of her) graduated *YIPPIE!!!!!* and decided to go back to Nigeria. I mean who the hell does that *rhetorical question* So rebtel has found a new loyal customer in me now , the way we talk on the phone you would think she’s still in hick town North Carolina.

-Went to my first ever NBA basketball game, Miami Heats vs Washington Wizards. Let me first say that I don’t very well care for basketball, then you throw in the wizards and my attention span drops to -2. The Heats won (no surprise there, and I gave myself a pat on the back for refraining from pulling out my novel to read midway thru the game.)

It was interesting though, and I got to cross something off my bucketlist.

Zina and I

I hear my name being called i.e screamed so for now I say welcome back lovelies.

Everyone knows I am a big FAN of Music, I mean Its Music whats not to like about it. Lately there have been a fusion of different genres of music that seem to be absolutely working. Well here’s another 1 people ( especially for Nigerians): Techno/House Music + Nigerian Music = DOPENESS!!! Well the DMV based group HouZe Boys are making this a reality. I will let you be a judge of their work, but I say they are going places * I’m jamming to Harry Potter in my work cubicle at this moment*

“Often when you go into a relationship with someone you like, you have to justify why you like that person. You only see what you want to see and you deny there are things you don’t like about that person. You lie to yourself just to make yourself right. Then you make assumptions, and one of those assumptions is “My love will change this person.” But this is not true. Your love will not change anybody. If others change, it’s because they want to change, not because you can change them. Then something happens between the two of you, and you get hurt. Suddenly you see what you didn’t want to see before, only now its is amplified by your emotional poison. Now you have to justify your emotional pain and blame them for your choices.”

The Four Agreements

i’m not the silly romantic you think. i don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. i don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. i want…a steady hand. a kind soul. i want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe.

Love liberates. It doesn’t just hold—that’s ego. Love liberates. It doesn’t bind. Love says, ‘I love you. I love you if you’re in China. I love you if you’re across town. I love you if you’re in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I’d like to have your arms around me. I’d like to hear your voice in my ear. But that’s not possible now, so I love you. Go.

We all know I turned 23 on the 8th of October. This year though I wanted to do something that I would love but that didn’t involve climbing the chairs and getting drunk at 1 club or another. My baby pinky planted this little seed in my head of a mini dinner party at my house, and once that seed was planted the ideas just kept growing and growing.

With the help of my ladies and Mother I was able to put together a great party (if I do say so myself). Without these ladies I couldn’t have pulled this off, we banded together and made this a success even with my various meltdowns: Sayo (drove 10 hrs from ATL), Pinky (5 hrs from NC), Eyitemi (my lovely namesake cousin; 4hrs from VA) and Bisi ( MD, but I can’t count how many hrs she put in). Lets not forget my boys who need not be named ( just look thru my blog, their pictures are always up), and last but certainly not least Chinedum :-*

My Mum & Brother

FOOODDD!!!

Now I’m tired, The rest of the pictures of the night can be found in my Facebook album
